GENI I&M Workshop

GIMI:Large-scale GENI

Instrumentation and MeasurementInfrastructure

Mike ZinkNovember 2, 2011, GEC12, Kansas City

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 2November 3, 2010

Overview

• GIMI Configuration• I&M tools for WiMAX• OML integration into GENI environment

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 3November 3, 2010

Goals

• Provide an instrumentation and measurement tools for GENI experimenter community

• Based on OML, IMF, GENI WiMAX, sensor network experience

• Create a portal (based on LabWiki) for experimenters

• Start with tools for WiMAX, GENI Racks, and sensors

• Collaborate with existing I&M Spiral 2 projects and GEMINI

GIMI Configuration Overview

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 5November 3, 2010

GIMI Configuration

• Move OML into GENI environment– ORCA control framework– Runs on Exo-GENI racks

• Use Gush and/or NS3 for experiment control service (in combination with OML’s EC)– Experiment and measurement orchestration

• Assumes XML messaging service (realized by IMF)– pub/sub – Carries OML messages

MDOD

Measurement Data Object Descriptor• For objects and object descriptors define:

– Schema– Naming– In collaboration with Sol. 2 & 3 measurement projects

• Identify necessary mappings between iRODS metadata catalog information and MDOD.

iRODS

• Integrated Rule Oriented Data System• Distributed storage system, originally designed in

support of data systems for grids• Persistent archive for measurement data • Supports SQL-based queries• We will start with iRODS at 3 sites (NICTA,

RENIC, UMass)– Others can (and are

welcome) to opt in)

WiMAX – NYU Poly

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 11November 3, 2010

GIMI for WiMAX

• Prototype development at NYPoly and BBN• Demonstrate GIMI-based measurement in March

2012• Support GIMI-based measurements at additional

GENI WiMAX deployments

GIMI for Sensors

• Demonstrate GIMI capabilities on CASA weather radar network and smart grid power metering

• CASA:– High bandwidth measurement data – Closed-loop

• Smart grid:– Prototype at UMass– Potentially large-scale US Ignite

OML Integration

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 14November 3, 2010

Overlap with GEMINI

• Portals– Both projects have their own portals.

• iRODS archival– Could iRODS archival service be used by both

projects?

• perfSonar interface for OML server– Handover of data taken with OML to perfSonar

During Year 1

Community Services:• Demos at GECs• Tutorials at GECs• Documentation and online tutorials• GIMI/OML server• LabWiki• iRODS permanent but NOT secure storage

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 16November 3, 2010

• Discussion:– How does this fit with your measurement project?– Would you be willing to use GIMI in the “not so distant

future”?– Suggestions

Thanks!
